Nathan Pyle has such a consistent track record of hilarious observations. Thank you for the reminder to catch up on Strange Planet.

On the other hand, he's also an anti abortion Christian type.

[–] aMockTie@piefed.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

That's disappointing to hear.

Do you know how strongly he has expressed those beliefs and/or have any references?

sigh unfortunately there are a lot of cases where one must choose between upholding principles and enjoying genuinely ~~good~~ creative art. Nathan W. Pyle, David Draiman, Joanne Rowling.. I'm drawing the line after 'personally enjoying it' while 'ensuring my money doesn't support the creator / publisher directly' and before 'recommending others buy it'. I don't agree with trying to stop people from enjoying it but I will encourage not allowing the problematic source to make money from it.

Depends on how harmful their activism and projects are. Frankly there are people with all sorts of opinions. Just being religious and having a different opinion doesn't make me want to boycott or cancel anybody. Most people in my family have vastly different opinions to mine but I still love them. Depends on the harm being caused. Doesn't mean principles are being compromised.

He has always been an outspoken "pro-Israel Jew" which is a bad sign for everyone else;

Overall his actual societal crime was consciously knowing his views of supporting mass violence are problematic and refusing to change or even accept a different worldview. He's just another successfully conditioned Patriot.

Alas, it's always strange how someone can be so vehement about something and still be vehement about the thing they care about doing what they think is being done.

I get the urge for jewish people to support each other, and the one country in the world that's "theirs". Totally understandable.

But when that country does the very things the people fear being done to them again, there's that lack of sense to see the hypocrisy of it.

It's sad

Davis Drama and good art. ROFLCOPTER

Perhaps the level of intelligence & wit & likeability he exhibits in his art indicates that he assumes all people are intelligent & witty & likable, so he delusionally believes that all lives are as precious as his own 🤷🏼‍♀️

Came here to say this might be the first time Nathan Pyle did not make me laugh. Glad to hear someone else did.

I need to only address some parts of all this:

Scope

Now I want icecream!

You wouldn't believe it, also scope

Not cool to narc on the stethoscope for trying to help out.

[–] Impractical_Island@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I use my dickwrench to unlock safes. Just need a five speed actuator and a dickwrench becomes a real fucking whore as far as stealthy criminal apparatus' go. Hey anyone know of any illegal hijinks going around town. I'm totally not a cop bro, and for proof, I'm will to let you pierce my dick, which is totally not my fetish.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

I kept reading it as "steal from a safe stethoscope" and thought I was having a stroke but I'm just dumb
